Reviews of Colonial Heights and Gardens

I am a friend or relative of a resident

Colonial Heights is a lovely facility. It seems to be a close-knit and cordial community, feeling a little like a cross between an apartment house and a college dorm. The residents' names are on their doors along with the names of any pets living with them. There are communal social areas on each floor as well as many gathering areas on the first floor. The apartments are clean and comfortable. Residents can choose the meal plans they want, so they can prepare their own meals or get them in the well-appointed dining room. Snacks and drinks are available all day, and the meals are tasty and it's inexpensive for guests to join residents for a meal. Several handy services, like shopping and banking, are regularly offered right in the building. There's a workout room on the first floor, and various clubs so residents can cheer each other on in their workouts. There are all sorts of social activities available, and religious gatherings for those who want them, but there's also a nice library for people who just want to sit and read quietly. The staff members always seem to be pleasant. They know all the residents' names, and get to know visitors pretty quickly. Almost everyone uses a wheeled walker, and it's fun to see how people decorate their walkers to make them individual. The facility doesn't offer any separate lodging for guests, but visitors can always stay overnight with the resident they're visiting. There's ample parking for residents and visitors.

When first moving in, the room was left clean from the previous residents. The staff is normally kind and friendly. The food served in the dining room is pretty good. The layout could be better, it's a very long walk from some apartments to the dining/main area, which isn't good for some of the less mobile residents. There is a hair salon and shop within the building, around the dining area, which is convenient for the residents. We did have an issue with security where a woman was able to enter the building and ended up stealing from my grandparents' apartment. The security is normally good, but she presented herself as a medical worker. Colonial Heights helped our family in finding this woman and provided us with security tapes to help convict the woman. Overall, I believe they have the best interest of the residents in mind. A little bit pricey.

Colonial heights is a great retirement option for people on the florence area who need or might need assisted living in the near future. Colonial heights offers many forms of assisted living that are great for elderly that need a little help but still want some independence. The kitchen provides wonderfully food for the residents (two meals of your choice per day). Colonial heights also includes a wonderful garden and live butterfly display durning certain parts of the year. There are many great groups and activitys at colonial as well. This retirement home has been great for my relatives and I'm sure it will beGreat for yours too.
